Bodo/Glimt's attack is firing at a 3.0 expected‑goals rate, while Rosenborg struggles to hit one. The model puts the over‑2.5‑goals market at 74.3% probability.

Show the maths
Our Poisson model, built from each side's real season scoring and conceding rates, has Bodo/Glimt at 79.0%, the draw at 12.5%, and Rosenborg at 8.1% to win.
The single most likely scoreline in our model is 2-0 at 9.1% — treat any single scoreline price with caution given how spread out the probability distribution is across a low-scoring match.

Rosenborg
Rosenborg’s recent run features four wins in five, highlighted by a 2‑0 away victory at Lillestrom and a 2‑1 home win over Viking. While they can keep clean sheets, the narrow margins indicate they are unlikely to limit the total goal count against a prolific Bodo/Glimt side.
